Rep. Burgess Owens Blasts Nike Over Their Alleged ‘Child Abuse’

Burgess Owens ain’t playing around!

Here at the Daily Caller, we’ve recently been covering sports apparel brand Nike and their alleged involvement in the funding of a youth transgender athlete study. Ever since we, and other outlets like OutKick who have really blown the issue out of the water, have covered the subject, Nike has been 99.9% dead silent.

Since the original report from OutKick that put my eyes on the topic, the outlet has tried to contact Nike over and over and over … and over again. They’ve only managed to land one comment, and even then, the executive for the company who spoke with OutKick wouldn’t go on the record. With that being said, the exec said that the study “is not moving forward” and “was never initialized,” and that was it.

In other words, they left everybody with even more questions, and Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) is one of the people who isn’t just gonna sit around and let Nike partake in this alleged nonsense. He blasted the company on social media Monday.

“If Nike funded experiments on young children to justify putting boys in girls’ sports, the American people deserve answers. If this is true, it’s not just wrong — it’s pure evil. Time to speak up Nike,” wrote Owens.

Will Nike finally respond? Or will there be more dead silence?
